The Stars Laugh

Disclaimer: Characters and Premise are borrowed from the show "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer."

"Miss Edith we must have a most serious conversation," I say sitting Miss Edith on the bed and lowering myself to her eye-level. "There is a new baby in the family, so I shant have much time for you, for I fear she shall be most naughty. It's Grandmum, and you know how she is."

"Oh Miss Edith," I sigh. "It's all most confusing. Even the moon is in a dither. Grandmum is to be my new baby. The world is so changeable. My knight has a pretend jiminy cricket. My daddy is gone, then returned, then gone again and now he's back but not. And I'm Grandmother's mommy, it makes one's head spin."

"But chaos is such a lovely thing, it makes the world match the pictures in my head."

"Curious little creature run about in such odd clothes. The wizards of old always wore more colors, they adorned themselves with the moon and stars, as was wise, for the heavenly bodies know the truths. These lawyer-creatures pay no mind to such omens. They will regret their oversight."

"For the stars are laughing. The Wolfram and Hart-creatures think they control the world. Such foolishness. They wish to bring forth my daddy to do their bidding, yet they can't even comprehend what the Angel-beast is capable of, let alone what my daddy is."

"They see themselves as puppet-masters, pulling strings and making us dance, but my Angelus is no one's toy and neither am I, as they shall learn, to their dismay."

"Grandmother-baby is exceedingly hungry and they've arranged a party. I always love a party."
